Cake and Erev Pesach

Today I took an early morning stroll to the
post office, to mail some scrumptious-smooth- "sin" (ie, special
Swiss chocolate), as a gift to them for the upcoming Passover holiday. On the
way I passed the bakery.

The cakes on display called out to me how I
should buy them for my husband for Shabbat (the Sabbath). I continued to
the post office, but meanwhile there
ensued a conversation between me and my "Yetzer Hara" (evil
inclination):

Me:
If I buy it, I'll eat it.

YH:
for Shabbat! Buy some on the way home!

Me:
There is cake in the freezer for Shabbat.

YH:
But your dear husband will like this cake even better!

Me:
Too bad. And that is questionable anyway, Mr. YH.

YH:
So buy it for him to eat next week when there will be a lack of normal food….

Me:
He'll get enough. And I can always buy next week if I need. Besides, YH, you
know that YOU want it for yourself, not for DH. Did you forget that you had an
eating plan for today? And that there is a piece of cheesecake waiting for you
for Saturday night? Exactly how much cake did you intend to consume?

YH:
Well, you could have a piece of cake
instead of the salad and Pecans you were going to have.

A description of this blog

This blog is basically a diary, journal, and notes of observations. In the past it dealt mostly with the topics of special needs, especially a real view of what life is like with (and for) a teen with Down syndrome. However, since Ricki's death in August 2012, at age 17, the amount of blogging on the subject of "special needs" has decreased. Additional topics are interpersonal relationships, life in Israel, and dieting. (I have lost 75 kilos...)(And no, I did NOT have weight-loss surgery....) Also an occasional get-on-a-soapbox-and-tell-it-like-it-is personal opinion.

Great Resources on Down Syndrome
